Tone: [Am]
Verse 1
I had a [Dm]friend I knew in the ninth [F]grade
And he [Am]didn't come to class one day
'Cause they [Dm]found something inside his [F]brain
so they sent him [Am]home
So I [Dm]went to see him after [F]school
I said [Am]"Is there something I can do that
Might [Dm]make you feel more comfortable?"
And he told me [Am]"No"
 
Pre-Chorus
He said "I'm [Dm]happy that you made [F]it,
please don't [Am]treat me like your patient
I don't [Dm]need more [F]medication," [Am]mmm
 
Chorus
The [Dm]only way I [F]know that I'm [Am]alive is 'cause it [G]hurts
So [Dm]anything that [F]takes away my [Am]pain will make it [G]worse
'Cause [Dm]if I'm numb I [F]might as well be [Am]underneath the [G]dirt
The [Dm]only way I [F]know that I'm [Am]alive,
that I'm alive [G]is 'cause it [Dm] [F] [Am]hurts
Is 'cause it [Dm] [F] [Am]hurts
 
Verse 2
And I [Dm]won't forget the things he [F]said
Every [Am]time I start to feel depressed
To be [Dm]grateful that I still have [F]breath down inside my [Am]lungs
'Cause [Dm]without the darkness there's no [F]light
And [Am]without the pain there'd be no life so
[Dm]Even when it hurts [F]inside I won't try to [Am]run
 
Pre-Chorus
I'll be [Dm]happy that I [F]made it,
I'll be [Am]open, I'll embrace it
I won't [Dm]take no [F]medication, [Am]mmm
 
Chorus
The [Dm]only way I [F]know that I'm [Am]alive is 'cause it [G]hurts
So [Dm]anything that [F]takes away my [Am]pain will make it [G]worse
'Cause [Dm]if I'm numb I [F]might as well be [Am]underneath the [G]dirt
The [Dm]only way I [F]know that I'm [Am]alive,
that I'm alive [G]is 'cause it [Dm] [F] [Am]hurts
Is 'cause it [Dm] [F] [Am] [G]hurts
The [Dm]only way I [F]know that I'm [Am]alive is 'cause it hurts
So [Dm]anything that [F]takes away my [Am]pain will make it worse
'Cause [Dm]if I'm numb I [F]might as well be [Am]underneath the dirt, mmm
The [Dm]only way I [F]know that I'm [Am]alive,
that I'm alive is 'cause it hurts [Dm] [F] [Am] [G]
 
Outro
Is 'cause it hurts [Dm] [F] [Am] [G]
Is 'cause it hurts [Dm] [F] [Am] [G]
Is 'cause it hurts [Dm] [F] [Am] [G]
Is 'cause it hurts [Dm] [F] [Am] [G]
